Many thanks justsomeguy, Once I figured out that I needed those quotes and pluses to call up the variable, it worked a treat! I was looking at your Benjamin Franklin paraphrase. I don't think you can teach yourself this stuff, you need to use other people and other resources. But you can still take pride in saying "I built my own website, I know (at least for the moment) what every line of code does, because I've cobbled it together from the ground up". Thanks again, I'm sure I'll be back for more.
